PAGE PAGE 1 人生感悟类 1、Every January for the past 20 years, I have taken a few moments to ponder(思考) the answer to the big question, “What is the meaning of life?” ??? It’s one of those enormous questions that are so?important—philosophically(哲理地) and practically in terms of how we live our lives—and yet we never stop to really think about the answer. If you might be able to get your response in less than a minute, the wisdom-to-effort rate for this exercise could not be more advantageous. I tend to ponder such things as the creator of the Wisdom Project, a collection of writings about the wisdom in everyday life experiences. ??? The reason I ask this question year after year is that my answer changes over time, which I find interesting and meaningful. There is no only correct answer, I believe—only answers that are right for you at any given time. ???

Some people have concluded that lifers meaning is subjective. There is not one big universal meaning for all,” author Anais Nin wrote in her diary. There is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person. ??? Taking a few moments to record your response to the question What is the meaning of life? is the kind of simple exercise that effectively adds meaning to your life. And then I suggest answering it every year. Looking back at how your thinking has evolved and been influenced by experience tells you something more about yourself. Cumulatively (累积地), it gets you closer to a deeper self-understanding. ??? Whatever small step you take toward finding the meaning of life is a step toward a more meaningful and longer life. 1.Why does the author ask the question every year?
